I've installed the latest alpha on a dedicated drive of my 0710 hardware yesterday. I followed the instructions on the front page from May 14th. The installation basically worked fine there are just three slight issues

1) I had to manually tweak udev naming rules for my network *before* running the LMCE installer for my external network was detected as eth1 while the internal one was eth0. The installer produced a lot of errors on setting up dhcp an such.

2) After rebooting into LMCE my keyboard layout was changed (DE -> US). no idea why that happened (or if it is necessary

3) The install did not install the nvidia drivers (as it should do according to the front page article) my system is still running on nv driver instead.

What am I to do with the video driver? is it safe to use KDE desktop to install nvidia restricted driver (version 180)?

At the moment, the installer is quite picky. eth0, or eth0 and eth1, are needed.

You should be able to change that in the web admin under keyboard layout.

Interesting. Would you mind pasting the output of lspci and lshwd.

Should not cause too many problems, but again, it surprises me, that it was not done originally.
